"First Time Hearing" Luciano Pavarotti - Caruso - TM Reacts 2LM Reaction

[@Timeflyer2]

The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla, wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Caruso spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucia Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life.

Grandissimo Lucio!!! artista di una sensibilità rarissima e incredibile!!!

[@christinerobinson548]

Thank you so much, I could not make sense of the words. Was it a father consoling his daughter, a lover leaving his love? Thank you, now it makes sense.

[@chiccachannel]

It would be important to say that Caruso also was a tenor, that's why Lucio Dalla made this song almost opera like.

In 1996, I lived in New York City. I worked as a dental assistant for a very exclusive dentist on Central Park South. One day, on my way to work I was in the lobby waiting for the elevator. The elevator opens and I get in, Luciano Pavarotti shows up with his entourage and His entourage,swiftly shuffle me out of the elevator!!! I was incensed, of course. But I still have to get to work....... We had a 9 AM patient! Sooo,.....I waited for the next elevator and get to the floor of my job to start the work day. Luciano Pavarotti was our first patient that day!!!!!!!!!

[@flyer3232]

If you want some context on this piece, Enrico Caruso was regarded as one of the absolute greatest opera singers period the end and he died in the 1920s at like 50 something. Following him comes Pavarotti and the other two members of the Three Tenors, again regarded as the pinnacle of operatic singing for the later 20th century. So this is basically one of the greatest opera singers paying tribute to the one who came before him. Caruso was also one of the early users of voice recordings so thankfully we can today still appreciate his voice and how he sounded. As for the song itself it's supposed to be an older Caruso who has lived out his life. He's gone from Italy to America, he's lived a full life and he's spending the final moments of it with a beautiful woman that he's madly in love with. A love that reaches the point that when he sees her cry it's like he's drowning. He knows he's dying but he's happy that he gets to spend it with this woman. Do consider listening to Pavarotti singing Vesti la Giubba, E lucevan le stelle, and Nessun Dorma too.

[@TheWaitingFlame01]

Thanks for the context.

[@mljrotag6343]

[@abcdefgh-db1to]

The three tenors isn't the peek of operatic singing in the XXth century, you better go listen to Corelli, Di Stefano, Del Monaco or Rosvaenge ! They are on the same level as Caruso !

[@kennethskjttstagistoft7203]

@@abcdefgh-db1to All great singers, I am sure. However, having heard all 3 tenors live, I remain convinced that Björling and Pavarotti were the best ever.

Caruso and Nessun dorma are in my playlist right beside NF records! Realmusic! Wow LIT you are diverse, good on you! Great reaction.

[@RainbowMoonstone]

"Caruso" is what's known in Italy as "Bel Canto" or beautiful singing. It is not considered opera because it was never an aria sung in an opera. Andreas Bocelli has done several modern bel canto albums that are wonderful, as well as albums focused on famous arias from opera.

[@juliesolock7191]

Too LIT Mafia, just to help you out a little. There's opera and then there's what's called Bel Canto, meaning "beautiful singing." Nessum Dorma is directly from an opera. But Lucio Dalla's song about Caruso is bel canto. Some of my favorite, modern bel canto has been sung by Andreas Bocelli in various non-operatic albums. "O sole mio" is also "bel canto" ; it is a stand alone song not from an opera.
